  2. A Local Song

    “Gorderry is a lovely place ¶ Surrounded all with trees”

    Share Share Post
    Corderry is a lovely place
    Surrounded all with trees
    And in the summer season
    The honey feeds the bees
    The rabbit cuts the clover
    And the hare she does the same
    And the fox hes under cover
    In Corderry grand demense.
